   no use to man nor beast imo, opinion, against our advice a customer insisited we fit one of these to his 106Gti and within a week it was back,shattered to pieces and we were fitting him a Valeo like we wanted to in the first place. Valeo,Sachs,LUK or don't bother

   As above, do NOT buy a transmech clutch. I've heard nothing but bad things about them.

    just go to a local motor factors, you must have someone like Andrew Page or Partco in your area

    we have BMS and ABS. will give them a bell.
    
    the guy at the garge where there gonna fit it said £150 if i supply, or £225 if they do. might just go with theirs, that way, if its a cheap one, it can be sorted for free.
    
    will give the motor factors a call now

    think i will get the garage to supply and fit for £225. that way i haqve a guarantee. if i go and buy a LuK, if that fucks within a the guarantee then i am fucked, if the one they supply, which may be a crappy clutch, fucks then its replaced for free.
    
    Logic wins!
